I also used it in the past before I was vegan. Back in the days we only had creatine monohydrate which wasn't a very good supplement. Nowadays you do have great creatine supplements and it's also added in a lot of other supplements (pre-workout, post-workout, etc.).

I won't buy a creatine supplement, but if it's added in a supplement I would take for the other benefits, I take it as a plus!

Creatine mono kicks ass, especially if you lift heavy. It shouldn't cause water retention unless its cheaply made. It definitely helps gains in strength. If you can lift more, for the same number of reps as before, you will grow more.

The whole science of creatine hydrate is that is has one- mono- water molecule -hydrate- attached to it. Almost all of the studies done on creatine are done with creatine monohydrate. When you stop supplementing with it, the water goes away (my friend lost 9 pounds of water weight after a huge bulk).

Other creatine supplements like hydrochloride or ethyl Esther don't have this "problem" of water retention
